Using other preinstalled web applications
Your MeeBox comes with several free, open-source web applications already installed, so
you can run a useful web site right out of the box. The preinstalled web applications are
listed in the table below.
Application Path Software Home Page Description
Extplorer * /extplorer http://extplorer.sourceforge.net/ Web-based remote file access.
Gallery /gallery http://gallery.menalto.com/ Web photo album creator.
MediaWiki /wiki http://www.mediawiki.org/ Wiki (collaborative website) platform.
phpBB /phpbb http://www.phpbb.com/ Web forum application.
PHPMyAdmin † /phpmyadmin http://www.phpmyadmin.net/ Browser-based MySQL database manager.
WordPress /wordpress http://wordpress.org/ Blogging platform.
The ―paths‖ in the above table indicate each application’s location relative to your
MeeBox’s base web URL. Your base web URL is simply your MeeBox’s public IP address or
domain name preceded by the characters ―http://‖—that is, the web address of your
MeeBox. For example, if your public IP address is 208.67.219.137, your base URL would be
http://208.67.219.137. Then, to access WordPress, for example, the correct URL would be
http://208.67.219.137/wordpress.
Most of these applications require you to log in to add or edit content. Others require you
to log in only to perform administrative tasks, such as adding and managing user
accounts. All of the applications have been initially set up with one user, named ―admin‖,

† PHPMyAdmin is a utility to manage the MySQL databases of the applications on your MeeBox. These databases
provide data storage for most of the preinstalled web applications and for other web apps you might install yourself.
When adding your own database-driven web application, PHPMyAdmin provides an easy way to create the
application’s database, among other tasks.
